I think we should write all the entries in Haskell98 and disable any optimisation in GHC too, that would gives us a much fairer vision of Haskell current performances.
well, it's what C developers does. just look at full list of C and Haskell entries for this benchmark - all qualified C programs used std C/C++ libs, several really optimized entries was disqualified. and then Don found genious solution to the problem - add this function to GHC libs. or shootout wasn't first usage of this function? -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
